This site will save me just under £500 per year on medication. Really easy to use and obviously a lot cheaper than my vets. Super quick delivery. Very happy and would highly recommend.

Dear Ms Miller.

I am surprised by your review as you have not contacted us about this. I can see we requested a prescription from you on 16/09/24, but you have yet to provide one.

If you are unwilling to obtain a Veterinary prescription, we will of course refund you, minus our 15% card processing & admin fee, however, you actually need to let us know of your intentions.

Please contact us to advise how you wish us to proceed.

Really easy to order meds

Really easy to order meds. I needed to clarify something and had a email reply within the hour. Order my pets meds many times via the company and will continue to do so.

Disappointing customer service

Update in response below:
There are no street names in Dubai, but rather a building-based addresses :) If you had continued the conversation in a polite manner, we could have discussed that. As you would notice, my issue is not the 10 GBP for shipping cost, but rather the customer service received and the way this was handled from your side. Hope you can take some constructive feedback.

------

Order medication to the UAE ~10 days ago. Just got a message the order is cancelled as the address is incomplete. Double checked it and it is correct.

Reached out over chat and the represetative (Asma, I believe) was snappy and ended the chat without a warning less than 2 min into the conversation. I asked them to double check with their courier what the exact issue is or to refund shipping fees as well as the address is correct. Refused to and said "not our fault you've provided a wrong address." and cancelled the chat. You can do much better.

As discussed, the issue was you did not provide a complete address at checkout and Royal Mail returned the parcel to us as Emirates Post did not have enough information to find your property in Dubai.

This is not a fault of ours as you provided the address - We have simply passed on Royal Mail's information that the address you gave was incomplete. We have sent many items to UAE over the years and this is the only one that has been returned.

On this occasion, we cannot refund your shipping cost as this has already been paid to Royal Mail for the attempted delivery.

Top notch

Top notch. Struggled with other providers while VetDispense had stock and dispatched within hours, meaning my mog had his relevant meds without delay. Hugely appreciated.

First Class; thank you!

Very easy and straightforward to order my veterinary prescription online and I especially appreciate your kind help on the phone, answering my questions about the medication. The order arrived very promptly (the next day!) and was wrapped very securely. My cat and I are so grateful for your help and advice, and for first class service, thank you.
